New York-based photographer and filmmaker who has photographed skaters, graffiti artists, bikers, demonstrators, and other street characters.Cheryl DunnHer first film, "Photographers in New Yorkis now available to the public.
As the title suggests, the documentary focuses on New York street photographers and features 15 unique individuals, from Rebecca Lepkoff, who has been photographing New York since the 1930s and will turn 100 in August 2016, to Magnum Photos members Elliott Erwitt, Bruce Gilden, and Ricky Powell, who worked alongside the hip-hop scene in the 1980s.
What are photographers old and new looking at in this setting where new cultures converge and diverse languages are spoken? In this ever-changing metropolis, we will interview photographers who are pursuing their dreams with cameras in hand.
In a previous interview, Sherri Dunn said.
If there is one thing that good photographers have in common, it is a keen intuition and ability to observe. A good photographer is not assertive, just like a good listener. Street photography is finished when the photographer becomes the protagonist.
New York is a city where people from many different countries have settled, and where something changes every day. It is a city where one never knows when something new will appear, which may be why photographers are always looking for the perfect shutterbug opportunity. Please come to the theater and experience the reality of New York City.
